"never" is probably too strong a word - hardware checksum offloading
turns off checksumming in software, moving that to hardware.
Some people dislike that, too, but its not a universal thing.
Another example is loopback interface which sets NETIF_F_NO_CSUM. But this
might be a linux-only thing.

Right?
